So do we think Balaji is serious?
I've learned a lot reading and then talking with
#[0] and Arnold Kling.
Check out this bit where we discussed moral hazard issues, the effects that regulations have had on banking innovation and competence and the dangers of "zombie banks."
Always a little surprising when posts get more engagement on Nostr than on Twitter despite the much wider reach of the latter.
Unsurprisingly, #[0] killed it in this recent interview I hosted discussing Silicon Valley Bank, Bitcoin, "operation chokepoint 2.0" and the insolvency of the Federal Reserve itself. https://www.youtube.com/live/WalAt5nyJY0
“Lightning adoption is a pipe dream”
Nostr living the dream?

BTC is a dead end
Lighting adoption is a pipe dream, with a UX only usable with custodians
Spending hundreds of terawatts on a speculative asset ...
Tomorrow at 1pm ET, will be talking with Lyn Alden and Arnold Kling about the Silicon Valley Bank fiasco and whether the worst is yet to come for American banks and the Fed… https://www.youtube.com/live/WalAt5nyJY0?feature=share
This article frames the divide quite brilliantly, and I say that as a strong partisan of the “rationally redesigned commons” Ostrom-influenced version of social media’s future that I think Nostr exemplifies. 
Institute for New Economic Thinking
Ayn Rand vs. Elinor Ostrom: The Fight for the Future of Social Media
The contrasting ideologies at play in this tech sector mirror the conflicting ideologies in economics
How do you imagine that Nostr could/will break out into the mainstream?
Ok, so is there a way to either mute or remove yourself from a thread? Just asking... theoretically.
I encourage this community to delve into McLuhan if you haven't already. Highly relevant to what Nostr is trying to accomplish. I infused my retrospective take on the 2010s with his prescient insights.
So the official story at this point is that a "pro-Ukrainian group" with zero known connections to any government destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines.
New streamlined zapping in Damus is 🔥
Now that I've got this pretty seamless lightning wallet set up in my browser, anyone have good ideas for online stores where I should spend it?
Follow my colleague #[0] and help me convince her of the brilliance of Nostr!
I was fascinated that the Madoff series on Netflix meticulously documented the SEC’s failure after failure to uncover the Ponzi scheme unfolding right in front of them and then concluded that more SEC regulation is the answer.
Made a video about it here.
Do you think things like real property titles will eventually be transferred via smart contract using Bitcoin as the base layer? Or is this a pipe dream?
